"He had blistering, his skin is peeling, I mean it's horrendous," said the child's father, Manuel Escobar. "(Parents) need to be aware, you know, I don't want somebody or maybe another kid get hurt."

The incident took place at ChildrenFirst, a licensed medical day care facility in Orlando.

Escobar is protective of his son, who was born premature and spent 123 days in NICU. He said he does not trust the day care's version of what happened to his son.

"That they were bathing him and while he was getting his cleaning, he turned on the hot water, he hit the hot water and they realized it was burning his skin," Escobar said. "He can't even hold a bottle on his own, much less turn on the water."

Donna Loggie, the owner of the ChildrenFirst, said she was confident the day care did not cause the boy's injuries.

"Care is our utmost concern, and we look forward to the full investigation and we are cooperating with that," Loggie said.

According to the Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA), which, since it's a medical facility, licenses the day care, this particular location at has passed every inspection with no corrections needed since it opened in 2006.
